The Carbide SPEC-ALPHA’s bold, angular looks and direct airflow path cooling are just begging for you to build your next gaming rig. A gorgeous, oversized window shows off the roomy interior, and the three included 120mm fans can be easily controlled with the three-speed switch on the front panel.

The SPEC-ALPHA isn’t just another case, it’s got a great internal design that eschews the legacy 5.25” drive cages completely for better cooling, but still has plenty of drive capacity, with room for up to three 3.5” drives and four 2.5” drives, as well as front panel USB 3.0 support.

a very good case

when i first got this i was sceptical .but am surprised at the finish. most of all this is a case with very good airflow its quiet case .has a fan controller which is nice but find i never have to run fans at full .im using an air cooler on i5 8600k and idles and low loads at 37c under loads goes to 55c max .i put this down to a few factors a case with good airlow, correct application of thermal paste , im using a noctura nhl12

Looks great, roomy inside.

Looks great and has good, useful things on the front panel. Power and reset switches, 2 USB3 ports, fan controller ( 3 settings ) and headphones and mic jack.

It has feet that raise it off the floor, a MASSIVE help with dust control.

It is very quiet when turned on, with fans on lowest setting. Does get a bit louder when you turn them up, but that is to be expected, Fans still not annoyingly loud when turned up high.

I've bought and filled about 6 cases, this is by far my favourite so far.
